People in parts of Texas are reporting sightings of the Northern Lights Tuesday evening.
Several people, mainly in the Texas Hill Country, have dropped photos in Click2Pins with their view of the brilliant and rare display.
The sightings come as a severe geomagnetic storm hits the earth.
This storm was caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun, which is when there is an eruption of solar material and magnetic fields. When this eruption reaches earth, a geomagnetic storm can occur.
These storms can sometimes cause issues with critical infrastructure technology, but mitigation is possible.
The Space Weather Prediction Center expects geomagnetic activity to continue into Wednesday, so the Northern Lights may be visible to some in lower latitudes of the U.S. on Wednesday as well.
